Description: This function allows the user to check for element distortion against the element's ideal shape, which is given a Jacobian value of 1.0. The more an element is warped the closer it approaches a zero Jacobian value. Elements that fail the Jacobian check are highlighted and the user has the option of putting them in a separate part.
Usage:
1. DSI prompts:
> ENTER THE CRITERION FOR JACOBIAN CHECK (DEFAULT 0.7)
2. DSI prompts:
> XXXX ELEMENTS FAILED CHECK
> INCLUDE FAILED ELEMENTS IN A NEW PART? (Y/N)
3. If YES, DSI prompts the user to define a new part.
4. If NO, DSI prompts the user to check individual elements for Jacobian value via cursor pick. Select EXIT to exit the function.
